Partnership Options

Confer with us to discuss or commit to the following offering that can best enhance your University of New Haven presence:

  • Post and manage an unlimited number of internship, full-time or part-time openings for free on Handshake.

  • Reserve a table in the campus center to provide general information about your company to students.

  • Recruit strong students by offering an end-of-affiliation scholarship stipend, to defray their college costs, in addition to paying a fair wage during their work assignment.

  • Students want and need to find out more about companies and various career fields. What better way to educate them than for you to offer students the opportunity to shadow employers at your company for a day. School breaks are optimal but individual student schedules may offer flexibility.

  • Corporate tours are a great way to introduce students to your organization. Invite a University of New Haven student organization or group to your facility. Provide a tour of various departments or areas and provide lunch. Don’t forget to include your senior officials. The University of New Haven Career Development Center will assist efforts to arrange a tour.

  • Present on topics such as interviewing skills, internship/job search strategies, workplace professionalism, and others.

  • Provide a general or club/organization-specific information session on campus. Consider conducting one in advance of interviews to meet students in an informal setting prior to one-on-one interviews.

  • Advertise information about your organization by sponsoring events in our office or by purchasing an ad in the nationally recognized student newspaper, The Charger Bulletin, in existence since 1938.

  • Conduct practice interviews with students. Let us know when you can come; we’ll book a room and create a schedule for you. Let us know if you will conduct general interviews or if you prefer to restrict your interviews to a specific major.

  • Share your expertise. Spend a day or a half-day critiquing résumés for our students. Let us know if you will conduct general interviews or if you prefer to restrict your résumé critiques to a specific major. We’ll provide the room, ink pens and students.

  • Participate in, or host a networking event for students and alumni on your site or ours.

  • Work with closely University faculty and students on an academic project. Ask us, and we’ll connect you with the right folks.
